Instructions
Making of Dhokla
Pour water in the steamer and switch the steamer on.
Grease a bowl in which you are going to prepare the dhokla.
Take 3 bowls and add all the ingredients shown under their respective category separately for making batter in the ingredients herein supra except Eno and water.
Then add water in all the 3 bowls and mix well leaving no lumps left.
Now take the bowl carrying saffron batter first and add Eno and mix the batter vigorously either clockwise or anti – clockwise for about 45 to 60 seconds.
Pour the batter in the greased bowl.
Repeat the process no. 5 for the white batter and thereafter for green batter.
Gently spread the white batter over the orange batter and Likewise Green batter over the white batter.
Keep on the steam for about 25 to 30 minutes.
After 25 – 30 minutes, insert a toothpick into dhokla and check if it comes out clean, it is ready. Otherwise cook for more 5 minutes.
Take the bowl out of the steamer and let it cool.
Once it is cool, invert the dhokla from the bowl in a downward side upwards (means orange side on the top).
For Tempering:
Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds. When seeds begin to pop up, add cumin seeds, curry leaves and green chillies, saute them for few seconds.
Add water and bring it to boil. Pour it over dhoklas evenly.
Now cut the Dhokla in the cubes with a sharp knife. However you can cut the Dhokla either before tempering or after the Dhokla is ready.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and grated coconut
